Johannesburg notes on drawings & surveys
Many sellers in Craighall, Greenside and Bryanston West discover at transfer that a lapa, an enclosed stoep or an extra bedroom was never approved, and as-built drawings are then needed. Landlords in Braamfontein and Doornfontein want commercial layouts for shops, student flats and restaurants, while Rosebank agents order floor plans for listings. Electrical layouts matter for solar and backup power in older houses with tired wiring.
Homes and buildings in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a patchwork of building types, and the plans differ with each one. In Parkview, Emmarentia, Melville and Linden, old stands of 1,000 square metres and more are being subdivided or filled with garden cottages, while Braamfontein, Maboneng and Jeppestown have offices and warehouses turned into flats. Soweto's Dobsonville, Meadowlands and Orlando West see families extending RDP and four-room houses, with backyard rooms for tenants. The ridges of the Witwatersrand give sloping stands, and mining ground in the south needs care. Plans are drawn by local draughtspersons, architectural technologists and architects, who quote you directly once your request reaches them.
Typical as-built drawings requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate record of the walls and roof before knocking down or adding on
- Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board
- Developers and builders: measured drawings of a purchased building before conversion or subdivision
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: as-built plans so the sale can pass the bank and the conveyancer at transfer
- Shops, offices and restaurants: measured drawings of a leased shop or workshop for the landlord or an occupancy approval
- Churches, schools and crèches: records of an older church hall or school building before repairs or a new wing
Local tips for Johannesburg
Popular here: subdivision cottages, backyard rooms in Soweto and inner-city flat conversions. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask for the stand's zoning and any title deed conditions before the first sketch. Who does the work: draughtspersons in most suburbs, architects in Parkhurst, Melville and the city centre.
Around Johannesburg the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found. Expect sACAP-signed if sent to council as the baseline, and keep in mind: ridges and mine ground in the south: ask about a soil report and engineer's footings.
What to include in your request
- The address or erf number and the stand size
- What exists: house, outbuildings, extensions
- Any old plans, title deed or SG diagram
- Why you need it: transfer, renovation or council
- Dates for the sale or building, if any
